Kim Deal Latest News

The National finally seemed to catch up with their own popularity and embrace it in 2010. Their record, High Violet, really brought further sympathisers to their cause and made them the sleeper success story of the year. Though their growing fanbase had not gone unnoticed in our circles, the general public only began to learn of this band who’ve been around since 2000. No complaints here,...

Kim Deal MP3s

Haunted Dream Catcher   Swathed in glitzy reverb and glimmering atmospherics, Brooklyn band Total Slacker’s recordings are so gloriously DIY you can hear the room they were recorded in. Their name was inspired by the Richard Linklater film Slacker and attempts to reclaim a life of leisurely pursuits. Singer/guitarist Tucker Rountree met bassist/singer Emily Oppenheimer last year...
Listening to the Mighty Vin show on WSIA I was introduced to a new Staten Island band that I had not previously heard of. The song was catchy, the type of straight forward rock song that has bits of punk but errs more to the side of pop that will not leave your brain for ages! I asked Vin what the song was and was told it was by The Earaches and called "What’s the Deal, Kim". It...
The Breeders “Fate To Fatal” This “classic rock” sounds works well for Kim Deal. Her voice and persona slips so well into the sort of raw, groovy rock and roll that barely holds together as its performers attempt to get across some vague yet highly potent desire. Deal sounds sweet, wounded, wonderful, and bewildered as she shouts it out over this music, which sways...
You can tell by just looking at these guys and gal in any one of the dozens of photos on their myspace that they love to have a good time, and that fun-loving spirit crosses over into their music.  The Happy Hollows creates fuzz-addicted pop gems, that are equally loud and catchy. The highlight is Sarah Negahdari’s enthusiastic vocals which channel indie rock starlets like ...

Kim Deal Reviews

By the time Nirvana had come to fame, the Pixies had already come and gone. They never really did get all that much recognition at the time, but retrospectively they’ve become somewhat of a must-have for anyone with an ear for alternative music. Tonight saw them return to Glasgow after 18 years – their last trip in 1991, where the stage collapsed after only a few songs....
Venue: King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow Teaser: Battle of the Bands gigs can be pretty harrowing - for the audience as much as for the bands taking part. Fortunately for Tom Brogan, the recent T-Break showcase in Glasgow had more than a few pleasant surprises. Pull quote 2: Some harder rock arrives in the shape of Yashin. They’ve brought a large contingent of fans with...
Band name: LE TETSUO Teaser: They hurl, scream, gob, gurn and shake their bums like electrified monkeys - they are Norwich’s Tetsuo, and their DIY mayhem has been captured in this debut EP. Emily Kendrick brings us the following words… Pull quote 2: not one song clocks over two and half minutes, and the wild banshee singing fits like bric a brack…...
